I hate to hear that.

He played the role of a mafioso to the hilt.

,..one of the few TV show in the past several years that I enjoyed watching.

51 is way too soon. Sad!

RIP James.

I always held out hope they would bring Tony Soprano back.

RIP

Did he ever do anything with Al Pacino or Robert di Nero?

Damn, a year younger than me.

Damn, that sucks. Good actor and seemed lile a good guy. I really liked him as Bear in Get Shorty. Never watched the Sopranos, though.

Was it a hit job?
Posted By: VinceM Re: Tony Sapranno Dead - 06/20/13
That's too young,that sucks.
Wow, this really sucks. Shocking.

I own the Sopranos DVD collection. The dude was a first rate actor and as cool as they come.

I'm officially bummed out.
Posted By: Scotty Re: Tony Sapranno Dead - 06/20/13
I enjoyed watching him. Too bad he got wracked.
Posted By: rockchucker Re: Tony Sapranno Dead - 06/20/13
loved big tony. frown
He shot to fame in '93 in 'True Romance'. A great flick!

I couldn't find the best clip, but this one is funny, opposite Brad Pitt.

We just received the first 3 seasons of The Sopranos today and were planning on watching an episode tonight.

51 is CRAZY young.
Posted By: bea175 Re: Tony Sapranno Dead - 06/20/13
Someone made him a offer he must have refused .
Posted By: plainsman456 Re: Tony Sapranno Dead - 06/20/13
Heart attack or hit job?

They have ways of making it look real.

Thought he was older that 51.
Posted By: isaac Re: Tony Sapranno Dead - 06/20/13
I just hope it isn't one of those Len Bias kind of heart failures.

Excellent actor. Sad.
Posted By: tedthorn Re: Tony Sapranno Dead - 06/20/13
For some reason I thought him to be older....wow 51

Posted By: jmillo Re: Tony Sapranno Dead - 06/20/13
Loved him as Tony, but really loved the part he played in True Romance. RIP
Posted By: ol_mike Re: Tony Sapranno Dead - 06/20/13

Very sad leaving behind a small daughter ,son and wife.
Hands down one of my favorite TV shows.

Excellent actor, he owned that role as Tony Soprano. He was so very sexy and so very handsome. He could give me day dreams about night things in the middle of the afternoon.

I agree, I am bummed frown

I'll never understand how women's minds work,...and I suspect that's a good thing.

You have a lot to look forward to, join Netflix and start on season one, you'll laugh your arse off.

Wasnt he in a movie called the "The Mexican" about an old
revolver they were trying to find?

Oh,...don't worry,...

I'm far too old to delude myself into thinking that I understand how a woman's mind works.

That's for young men.

,...young men who have fathered less than 3 kids.

,..kinda like this.

Young man: What da hell you mean you're knocked up again?!

Woman: I'm a female at the height of my fertility. Don't blame me if ya daddy didn't tell you how we are.

Well,...for one thing,..I don't understand why anyone would take up with one of us old hairleg men.

I mean,...I'm glad that women do,...but I quit trying to understand why.

I have probably watched every Soprano's episode 10x. Gandolfini made it it work, great writing no doubt, but to convey innate sensitivity to cunning animal survival, perfect role for a great actor.
Posted By: tedthorn Re: Tony Sapranno Dead - 06/20/13
I was just looking at Google at some recent pics of him.......what do you think he weighed.....350?

Yes he was.
Posted By: dogcatcher223 Re: Tony Sapranno Dead - 06/20/13
Sad news, the Sopranos changed the future of TV. Didn't realize was so young. Cannot believe he was in his 30's when that show first aired!
Posted By: Kilimanjaro Re: Tony Sapranno Dead - 06/20/13
Probably my all time fav series.. helluva actor.
Far too young .. RIP
Posted By: MontanaMarine Re: Tony Sapranno Dead - 06/20/13
Ahhh man, James Gandolfini was one of the few actors I really enjoyed watching.

RIP
Posted By: MontanaMarine Re: Tony Sapranno Dead - 06/20/13
JG had a big heart for the troops too. I remember a couple years or so ago, he did a tv show where he was interviewing a bunch of the wounded troops who were back home and coping with their disabilities.

news reports say he was a pretty decent guy. Never saw him in anything though.
Posted By: ColsPaul Re: Tony Sapranno Dead - 06/20/13
I figured he was dead before Journey was done playing on the juke box! We just didn't get to see how or who!

Does this mean Pauly is the new Skipper ?

51? I have shirts that old. RIP Tony.

Yeah, in the first season they discussed what it would be like to be whacked, and that's how they described it, i.e., one second you're doing your normal routine (having a meal with family at a diner), then suddenly everything goes blank.

Yeah, but they'd likely go back to being a lowly crew rather than a full fledged family after the loss of Tone and Sil gone.

Being familiar with the role... always helps when acting.

Well worth the watch.
R.I.P. JG.

I loved his work, one of the best actors I have ever watched. 51 is way too young. He was a good guy who did a lot of charity work for veterans. He will be missed. RIP

He might have been one of my favorite actors. No one played a Gangster any better. RIP
